  Case: Culture in the classroom
I have an idea of bringing culture into my classroom with different foods and celebrations from around the globe each week. Would this be a good idea, or do you think it would clog up the already hefty curriculum we need to follow? Explain and share ideas.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It's a nice idea and it has merit, but there is so much more to culture that just food. A more effective way to bring culture to your classroom is to add culture to your classroom and your lessons. Fins out if there are students in your classroom whose culture is different and see if they would be willing to share their culture with the class. Changes in culture run much more deeply than just food. There are things to consider like religions, holidays, languages, governments, education, family just to name a few. These are all things to consider when talking or teaching about cultures in the classroom.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Bringing in food may not be allowed or some of the children may not be able to afford to bring in food. Having the students share their unique backgrounds with the rest of the class is a great way to learn about different cultures and a great way for students to get to know each other.
